Many bodybuilders make that mistake to perform to complicated and advanced exercises which leads to slower progress and not happy results.

You also need to know that bicep is the hardest muscle to build up, you need a lot of concentration and regular training with a idea nutriton.

  1. Biceps Curl - Use the bar and grab it under. With elbows to side, raise bar until forearms are vertical. Lower until arms are fully extended. Repeat.
  2. Dumbbell Curl - Use dumbbells. With elbows to sides, raise one dumbbell and rotate forearm until forearm is vertical and palm faces shoulder. Lower to original position and repeat with opposite arm. Continue to alternate between sides.
  3. Dumbbell Concentration Curl - Raise dumbbell to front of shoulder. Lower dumbbell until arm is fully extended. Repeat. Continue with opposite arm.

1) The biceps are called the front muscles. These muscles are easily visible when the arm is bent at the elbow.

2) The second type of muscle is the triceps. Triceps are those muscles which are the back of the arm. The weights are lifted by the triceps so most of the people do not give too much importance to the triceps.

Exercises are often used by the people who are fat and want of lose body weight. But there are people around the world who work out in the gym only to get an attractive body. And again there are certain people who do the exercises only to keep their body fit and healthy and do not concentrate on the other aspects of doing gyms.

The exercise that helps in the toning of the biceps is the lifting of equal weights in both the hands and the arms has to be bent and straightened and the repetition has to be continued so that the strength of the arm increases and then more weight is added to the previous weight. But while doing the exercises the posture has to be correct or some other problem might arise in the later stages.

Triceps

The exercise for the triceps muscles is almost same as that of the biceps muscles. A certain weight has to be taken in both the hands and the same is done like it was done while doing the bicep exercise.

Many people in the world have problems with their fore arms. The people complain about the size of the fore arm which does not match to the upper arms. The upper arms of most of the people are bigger in size compared to their fore arms. The exercises that will strengthen the fore arms and help them to be as big as the upper arms should be practiced so that it does not happen that the upper arm is big but the fore arm is skinny and does not have any strength. The impressive shape of the body does not mean that the you should have only good biceps but the other parts of the body has to be well maintained as well and should match with the upper part also. The people have skinny fore arms because they work out only for the upper arms but not for the fore arms. People think that the shape of the upper arm will be sufficient to have an impressive ad a healthy body.

Forearm Workouts
For the shaping of the fore arms there are certain exercises that has to be done so that the fore arm gains some strength and can be matched with the upper arm. The very basic and the old exercise equipment that can help in shaping the fore arm is the wrist roller. The wrist roller is the most important type of equipment which helps to gain the shape of the wrist and makes the fore arm match with the upper arm. The wrist roller exercises are very simple and can be executed anywhere and any time. The wrist roller is a device that is very easy to operate and it has to be hold by the two hands and curled keeping the arms constant but moving only the wrist. It can be moved either clockwise or in anti clockwise direction. But while dong the exercise the weight has to be kept equal on both the sides and moreover you should not take overweight as it might cause a pain in the wrist or might also result in the fracture of the wrist. So it is very risky and it should be done only under proper guidance by a person who is adept in all these. It is not a tough exercise and so it can be done for about 12 to 15 times in one set and such sets can be done for about 2 to 3 sets. By doing so you can experience a great pump in the fore arm and it can be used to get the desired result.

Considering the diet
The exercise can only be done if there is enough strength to perform it and so for gaining the required strength the diet is the most important thing. The diet of a person has to be balanced in such a way that he takes all kinds food stuffs and the different nutrients. The intake of protein has to be increased as it is the main body building ingredient of the body.


Triceps Workouts

Many people have a disbelief that the triceps muscle can be obtained by the chest exercise but it is not so because the exercise for the chest muscles have nothing to do with the triceps. The triceps are not built by the chest exercise and so the have to give away with this type of thinking. To build the triceps some specially designed work outs has to be done so that these muscles are developed. While going for the triceps muscles’ training certain things has to be kept in mind like the weight should be equal in both the hands or else there will be an imbalance between the two powers and the pumping of the two hands.

Triceps Exercises
There are some exercises that can be done in order to improve the triceps but before doing the exercises the triceps has to be warmed and then the exercises should be performed. The warming up of the triceps protects them from being strained or some other damages.

Closed grip pushdowns
This exercised is very effective as it helps to develop the triceps muscle as it puts a direct pressure on the triceps and it also help by gaining the mass of the triceps. It has many types of risk and so it should only be done under proper guidance. This can be repeated for two to three sets and each set comprising of ten to twelve repetitions.

Here are some of triceps workouts that you can start doing right now before continuing on more advanced ones:

Closed grip bench press
The closed grip bench press is another effective way to shape the triceps. It also gives a direct pressure on the triceps muscles. It can be easily felt in the triceps muscles as there is a pain evolved in the muscles due to the stress it gets by doing this exercise. This exercise is done with a bar and some weight is put on the bar and then the bar is pulled down towards the forehead. This exercise has to be done for ten to twelve times in three sets to get the fruitful result. This exercise adds mass to the triceps to a large extent and helps in building the triceps muscles.

Parallel bar dips
This is the most effective way of developing the triceps muscles as it acts on all the three groups of muscles and so it can be tried more often so that the muscles are developed quickly and more effectively. It is very easy to do as you need only two parallel bars for the working out of this exercise. For the execution of the exercise you are required to lean on the bars and move upwards by transferring the weight of the body on the arms and bending the elbow drop backwards and when the feet touches the ground again repeat the earlier procedure. This exercise can be done for ten to twelve repetitions in three sets.

The development of the muscles is not a speedy process and so it has to be kept in mind and the number of times it is said to be performed should not be exceeded or else it might result in the break down of the body.

Protein is the main ingredient for the building of the body. The food rich in protein should be included in the diet. The protein helps in the building of the muscles and makes the body strengthen. The intake of the carbohydrates should also be increased as it also increases the strength of the body by providing the body with glucose and the disaccharides and polysaccharides. The body requires the fifty percent of the total calorie used in a day from the carbohydrates so the intake of it should be increased. The fats also provide the body with the required amount of nutrition for the body so that it can use it up when there is a shortage of carbohydrate in the body.
